Fantastic colorful autumn came early here this year. Usually mid-October Mother Nature is in full swing with her paintbrush. September went by with a flourish... lovely days and lots of sewing for me.

I am about to depart on a dream trip of a lifetime. My daughter and I are leaving today for Florence, Italy, for a few days of visiting museums there. Next we will spend a week hiking and sketching in the Cinque Terre region along a more remote stretch of the Italian riviera. My grandmother was born near there so it will feel a little like going home. Here you can visit a link that describes the Cinque Terre which means Five Lands. It consists of five small Italian villages, each with it's own dialect, and connected only by a local train and hiking trails. Ciao!
